When you need them, get these

Sun, 15 Aug 2004 09:21:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - Steel toes used to be the bane of the fashion-conscious. Boots, huge one, were the only choice we had. Along comes Skechers Steel Toes, and we are saved. I bought these shoes about 2 months ago, for work of course. They are a good value for steel...

You need this

Fri, 30 Jan 2004 14:31:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - This is a product I bought when starting the Atkins way of life last July. When you begin Atkins, you go through a 2-week period of eating low amounts of carbohydrate grams. This entails eating less of what you may be used to - such as fruit and milk...

Drano Max Gel Clog Remover: Works perfectly

Thu, 29 Jan 2004 21:42:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - I just bought some Drano Max tonight after seeing the commercial. The man using "regular" drain opener is commenting that it's a liquid, like water, so it just runs through the drain. Then they showed the thick Drano Gel and how it clings better to...

Best movie this year!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - On Saturday last, I saw "Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns". This is a documentary about the band They M...

Skip it

Mon, 16 Sep 2002 16:02:39 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - This is a typical novel about 3 women and a man in New York City. They are very good friends and support each other through divorces, jiltings, career ups and downs, and being left at the altar. The problem with this book is that it's not original or...

Gay Lord Robert: Arrogant fool!

Tue, 23 Apr 2002 18:20:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - This is the story of Robert Dudley, Master of Horse so Queen Elizabeth I, the "Virgin Queen." Of course, it is also her story, since he was the most important man in the world to her. He and she knew each other almost all their lives.

Jean Plaidy is the expert

Wed, 20 Mar 2002 19:25:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - Jean Plaidy has written under the names of Victoria Holt and Philippa Carr as well as her own. She is undoubtedly the best expert on the royals I have ever read.

"The Courts of Love" is the story of Eleanor of Aquitaine, who married two kings...

Mia is fascinating and real

Wed, 20 Feb 2002 19:12:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - This is the story of Mia Farrow, and invariably that will include her relationship with Woody Allen. What I had not realized before reading this book was that her life was full way before meeting Woody, and it's a great story.

Mia was born...

Leave this tale back in 1899

Thu, 6 Sep 2001 14:58:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - Warning - Spoiler Ahead!!

This was a difficult book for me to read. The prose is stilted in some spots, flows in others, but it's the subject matter that bothered me. This book is about a girl named Olympia and the summer she became a...

I won't read this book

Fri, 17 Aug 2001 11:08:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - I got a chance to see this movie last night. Usually I read the book before seeing the movie, but in this case I didn't know there WAS a book. I am glad, because this flick is nice to look at and that helps the "getting through it".

I had...

Martin was a lost soul

Sun, 17 Jun 2001 11:46:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - This is yet another Jack London book I read this month, and liked a lot. Since the title was a man's name, I thought it would be another Arctic adventure story. I was pleasantly incorrect.

It is the story of Martin Eden, a 21-year-old man...

Adventure!

Sat, 16 Jun 2001 10:00:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - "Smoke Bellew" is one of the Jack London novels I have been reading. I picked it up at the library and I did enjoy it, though not as much as I would have if I were younger. This is a great book for early teens.

Its main character is Chris,...

He was a gifted writer

Sat, 9 Jun 2001 09:05:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - The author of "White Fang" and "The Call of the Wild" certainly deserves his reputation as a "nature writer", capturing the raw ways of the animal kingdom. But here is a lesser-known work, that in my opinion is much better. Jack London was also a...

Times gone by beckon

Tue, 5 Jun 2001 14:53:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - Jack London is of course known for his adventure stories of wolves and the Yukon, to name the most famous. But in this book he combines a deeper story with the tale of the title character. Rather than being a flat character, Burning Daylight (real name...

I don't think I'll be back

Sat, 2 Jun 2001 08:58:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - I went to the Ruby Tuesday in New Castle PA on a Friday night. This is a new restaurant in this chain, and it showed in some ways.

At first, we (two people in the party) were greeted very nicely at the door. We were told a wait of 40 or so...

Classic tale of Army life

Fri, 18 May 2001 22:01:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - This book is so huge that I hardly know where to begin. Basically, it is the story of a slice of life in the Army, in Hawaii, leading up to and slightly after Pearl Harbor. With the movie "Pearl Harbor" coming out this month, this is the perfect time...

A great man

Mon, 16 Apr 2001 23:37:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - I had heard of Serpico before reading this book, but didn't really know the story. When the movie came out, I was too young to know it. I am so glad I have read this!

This is the story of Frank Serpico, a man who from youth wanted to be a...

She was misunderstood

Mon, 19 Mar 2001 22:39:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - This is a great book, because it's very readable, and it's based on the life a a very infamous woman. Anne Boleyn was a victim, I believe, of the patriarchal society she lived in, but more closely a victim of Henry VIII.

Anne's story is told...

Not scary!!

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 22:37:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - I love a good horror book, and I love being scared. That's what I want the book to do to me. This book, even though it's by a "master", did not scare me. The horror part was that I wasted precious hours of my limited life on this thing.

Archbishop, I hardly knew ye

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 22:16:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - I have great respect for Willa Cather, I do. And I hate to "Not Recommend" any book, because I believe each book can something to someone. But this book was so silent to me. It didn't reach me.

This is the story of Father Latour who...

A truly great man

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 21:49:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - First, let me say that the title of this book is actually "The Life of Thomas More." There, that bugged me. OK, on with my opinion.

The author, Peter Ackroyd, should win his own knighthood for this work. It is obviously a product of vast...

Staying put

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 22:15:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - This is a video by aerobics instructor Kari Anderson, who is my favorite. Unfortunately, this video isn't up to her usual standard. Compared to others, she is the tops in her field, but my rating is based on comparing this to her other videos.

More than just laughs

Sat, 24 Feb 2001 00:24:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - “The Dilbert Future” is a book you may not expect. You may expect a rehash of old

comic strips, or perhaps a book of “this really happened to me!” anecdotes about the

stupidity of bosses. Goodness knows, there are enough stupid bosses to fill...

Complete fitness

Mon, 19 Feb 2001 17:08:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenzahara - This tape is great for beginners, intermediate, and experts. It is a real challenge, which is another way to say it is HARD. But the beauty of it is that it is only hard if you choose it to be.
